Besides, anybody who gets depressed because of what some advertiser thinks probably needs to reexamine their priorities in life.

Did you post this to stir up some shit? My sisters and some of my friends are large women who are certainly not "nasty" and have struggled with their weight all of their adult lives. I find your comments terribly offensive. You succeeded in stirring me up.
I always saw Rubens' nudes as beautiful, sexy women, but I doubt your mind would be changed if you viewed them. You can find Rubens' art at google "images."
